The main goal of this recording was to establish the strong link between the French composer St-Saens and the country & culture of Spain. Having lived more than a decade in Spain in Spain, but being born into a Francophone world, Da Costa understands as few others how this music lives. Its French subtlety and aristocratic grace; the sense of bravery, even haughtiness and matador-like concentration that is authentically Spanish.

The Violin Concerto is the most intimate of Beethoven's instrumental works. A pianist himself, he is very familiar with virtuosity on the pianoforte, and he uses and demonstrates its capabilities. But he cannot rely on personal experience with virtuosity in playing the violin and the statement of the solo violin thus becomes a direct projection of Beethoven's feelings and emotions.
